After their first loss in over a month, the 76ers, still without All-Star center Embiid (orbital fracture), will try to take back home court advantage when they visit the Heat for Game 3.
D-Wade showed glimpses of his old self last out with 28 points on 11-of-16 shooting, “It’s just in my DNA,” Wade told the media. “I love the stage.”
After making 18-of-28 3-pointers in Game 1, Philadelphia was 7-of-36 in Game 2, and if they are hoping to win this one with lights out shooting, they’ll be in trouble.
Will take another vintage Wade performance to get over the line tonight, and we’re not sure how many he has left. Can’t look past the 76ers at the moneyline.
Best Bet = Philadelphia WIN

The Pelicans look for a 3-0 lead tonight after taking Game 2 as heavy underdogs in Portland on the back of Jrue Holiday with 33 points. Now back at home, you’d have to suggest that the swagger will be turned up to 11.
Portland Coach Stotts stated “It’s easy math – we’ve got to go and win two in New Orleans, and I feel we’re very capable of winning both games.”
The worry for the Blazers is the Nurkic leg injury, listed day to day. We’ll take the Pelicans tonight at the moneyline, should be close though.
Also like the unders.
Best Bet = New Orleans WIN

Picks against the spread
| Spread | O/U Points | Result |
| Golden State | Over | Golden State |
| -3.0 | 206.0 | 110-97 |
The Spurs dropped the first two by an average of 18 points and will find it hard going to pull their way back into this series, even being back on home turf at AT&T.
Without Kawhi (what’s the deal here anyway?) not much of a chance was given to the Spurs, and that’s basically how it’s playing out.
Durant has shifted to 5th gear with Steph on the sidelines, and the Warriors are basically just too good at the high and middle level to be worried in this series.
Sweep.
Best Bet = Golden State -3.0 and Over 206.0
